morningbloom tagged me to write 20 interesting things about myself, as if. You can bet the last few will be made up, because if there actually are 20 interesting things about me, I won't remember them.
1. I was born in the West Virginia hills exactly 4 months after my parents' wedding. This qualifies me to refer to myself as a hillbilly.
2. I broke my left pinkie toe twice.
3. I still like to climb trees and other things.
4. I buy lots of stuff at yard sales only to donate it to thrift stores six months later because I'm tripping over it.
5. One day me and my cousin assembled a bicycle out of spare parts from many bikes, complete with a speedometer. We went to a big hill to see how fast we could get it going. He wrecked badly due to improper construction, we fixed the problem, then I wrecked badly due to another construction deficiency. This set the stage for a pattern that we continue to this day.
6. I once caught a 5 legged frog.
7. I was voted "best legs" (male) in my seventh grade year book.
8. I can make wierd squeaky squishy noises by pressing in on the corners of my eyes.
9. I have been through 4 rehabs, now sober 3 1/2 years hopefully for good.
10. I'm horribly unimaginative when it comes to food, I eat the same things constantly until I'm sick of them, and I'm never sick of pizza.
11. I own more vehicles that don't run than ones that do.
12. I own more books that I haven't read than ones that I have.
13. I absolutely cannot dance.
14. I was a pyromaniac as a kid. I would do things like pour gas on the creek, light it on fire & follow it into the woods. Or pour gas on my bike tires, light them on fire & see if I could go fast enough to put them out.
15. It's hard for me to find any pictures of myself taken within the last 10 years where I don't have a pair of black arnette catfish on. This is lame.
16. I've rolled my own smokes for probably 10 years. Also lame.
17. I started snowboarding in 84 or 85 long before you were allowed on the lifts at any resort (that I knew of, at least). We hiked little hills mostly and dodged kids on sleds. This is not lame, it is very, very cool. If I still had my wooden plank burton with skags and rubber boot straps I could ebay it and buy another motorcycle. But I'd rather have the board.
18. I take pride in having beat-up hands.
19. I've had 8 piercings, all done myself aside from my tongue, but they're all history now.
20 I have 20 interesting things about me!
I decided to tag
guitargeek heterochromia taurus fstop and sully.
Also a quick check on ebay completed items reveals that my burton backhill in the shape I left it wouldn't sell for much more than 4 bills probably. Near perfect ones go for maybe a grand. I think I'll keep my eye out for a cheap well-used one
